Reviews
Dr Tiong listened to my concerns. I was respected and Dr Tiong helped me. I might not be here now if it wasn’t for Dr Tiong. After 6 months of ER, Urgent Care and a message to my PCP (total of 7 Doctors), not one suggested an MRI to diagnose my pain. The MRI led to a stage 4 small B-cell Lymphoma. I am undergoing chemotherapy now, and grateful for Dr Tiong, hoping for a remission. Thank you for listening Dr Tiong.
Was very compassionate and thorough.
Very thorough and knowledgeable. Took his time with me.
It was good
Perfect in every sense of the word. One of the best doctors at UCLA
